I have everything pretty much working in (1152x864 screen size, with Nvidia Riva TNT 2 Model 64, 32 Mb VGA card etc.), except when I play video files, they are not played full screen. Instead, they are played in a small window that is centered in the middle of the monitor. When I play file formats, which support to mplayer-0.90-fr2.i386 I cannot view it in full screen mode. I tried by pressing F but it still the same. But when I –zoom it and play it gets in to full screen mode but there is a problem with that too after playing voice plays 1stly and then video moves. I tried mplayer filename –vm –fs but it didn’t work on.
But as I said when I tried the –zoom it gives this problem as well

********************************
Your system is too SLOW to play this!
********************************

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use ALSA 0.5 or the OSS emulation of ALSA 0.9.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try -hardframedrop.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.

How can I over come with this?

>> - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list)

This will solve your problem. try -vo x11 or -vo xv. -autosync 30 is another option which you should have if your cpu is slow.

well as he's using the -zoom option i'd assume he's already using X11. X11 is horrendously cpu hungry compared to dga or xv, so definitely try XV. you didn't give any CPU specs either....

i think acid_kewpie is right. i had that same symptom until i changed to the xv driver.

Okay I already had it set to the xv driver. Can I specify the autosync 30 in graphical mode (w/ gmplayer)? Any other suggestions to avoid that message?

if -zoom is changing the behaviour of fullscren mode then you will *not* be using xv output.

did you install mplayer from tar or rpm ??

advice: listen to acid!

following are set in my env and my card is much slower than yours. Mplayer plays fullscreen amazingly well for 1GHz and 16MB intel card.

in gmplayer, change the prefs for video: choose X11/Xv, enable double buffering, enable frame dropping( not the HARD one).

under 'misc', enable cache, set it to 8192(load time is slightly more, but its smart enough to not fill the whole cache before starting depending on the size). enable autosync, and set it to 30 to start with.

try each one, 1-by-1 and see if any of it helps.

you and me could go a long lnog way...

Oh yes we will!
